Marvin's Value Scale Exercise

[Enzie Shahmiri]

Participants at Marvin's Las Vegas Workshop received several pages that addressed Value Scale exercises.

There is one form each for Form Lighting, Rim Lighting, Front and Back Lighting and lastly a page for Lighting Combinations. Each one of these pages has these stripes that are meant for different value combos according to the light source.

Unless I was comatose from the Vegas heat, I don't recall Marvin talking about how to use these scales. Marvin is very busy with painting Cardinal Egan and I don't want to bother him. I am counting that one of his former students on this forum knows what I am talking about and can help me with instructions on how to do these exercises.

Thanks!

Gosh, I wish I could help you. But I did want to tell you how lucky that I think that you are taking a workshop with Marvin. I am planning on doing that someday. I just have to find a bit of time. He's one of the best there is in my book. Also I plan to take a workshop with Guan Weixing. Those are my two most favorite portrait artists that are painting today.

I hope that someone will help you soon.
